About this Event
Join Claire and Earthwise Aware (EwA) participatory scientists and learn how to observe and record the plants, insects, and animals of the Somerville Growing Center. With these observation events and through the EwA photo documentation using the iNaturalist platform, we contribute to biodiversity science while enjoying the outdoors together in this beautiful little garden. We'll also tell you about EwA's arthropod (insect and spider) and phenology studies at this location.
No expertise required / beginners welcome! You can prepare for the event by downloading the iNaturalist app (Apple | Android) and creating a free account. Check out the 'EwA at the Growing Center' iNaturalist project to see some 650 species documented from the garden thanks to EwA's citizen science team. Send us your iNaturalist username, and you'll get to have your observations count in our studies! There is always something new to discover and add to this growing list!
⚠ IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT BE A NO-SHOW!!! Our offerings are free and frequently waitlisted, so if you cannot attend, please tell us a few days before the events so we can give your spot to another person who wants to participate. Thanks for your understanding and courtesy!
